So Many People Are Buying These High-Street Jeans, and I Can Totally See Why
Think back to the late ’90s. We watched Friends religiously, Green Day T-shirts were all the rage, nu-metal culture was on the rise, shoes came in the form of Etnies or DCs and you couldn’t move for the amount of Dickies and Carhartt being worn by the nation’s teenagers. Today, however, I want to talk about the ’90s jeans we all wore. From my memory, the predominant look was an ultra baggy style had to be so long and loose they soaked up any amount of water on the floor. If it rained, you would inadvertently end up with a pair of two-tone jeans. And much like other Y2K trends, these trousers are back. Right now, one pair in question is incredibly popular: Weekday’s Rail Mid Loose Straight Jeans. It’s easy to see why—this pair is ...
Peachy Den Is Hosting a London Pop-Up and Stocking Limited-Edition Designs
We were first introduced to Peachy Den when the brand’s Kernel jumpsuit went viral. The ultraflattering, body-sculpting outfit filled our timelines on TikTok and Instagram with fashion enthusiasts of all sizes looking incredible in the cheeky all-in-one look. Peachy Den has quickly accumulated a fan following — including stars like Bella Hadid, Olivia Rodrigo, and Maya Jama — and now the London-based brand is hosting its very first pop-up in Soho for the autumn/winter 2021 season. Running from Saturday, 11 Sept., to Monday, 11 Oct., the Peachy Den pop-up will be hosted at 27 Peter Street in Soho, W1F 0AJ, and open to shoppers from 11 a.m. “We will be stocking exclusive limited-edition versions of our bestselling Kernel jumpsuit in velvet,” founder Isabella Weatherby said ...
30 Buys From Net-a-Porter, Matches and Vestiaire That Stopped Me in My Tracks
Perhaps it’s just me, but there’s nothing I love more than scrolling through the new-in sections of Net-a-Porter and MatchesFashion. Packed full of all the biggest names on the fashion scene and their boundary-pushing designs, for any fashion lover, it’s like being the proverbial kid in a candy store (can we make fashion pick ‘n’ mix a thing, please?). Of course, as a secondhand style fanatic, Vestiaire Collective is very much on par with these e-commerce powerhouses, and at the start of every season, I love scrolling through and stumbling across my favourite designer brands at a fraction of the price. A little bit of high-street, a little high-end and a generous dose of secondhand. In fact, some of the most stylish women I know truly ...
These Are the 15 Fragrances to Embrace This Autumn
Don’t get me wrong. I am a summer baby through and through. I like the heat, I like floaty clothes, I like sun-kissed strands, I like freckled noses, and I really like the pared-backed beauty routine that so often comes with summer months. For the most part, I’m willing to say that I sort of loathe waving goodbye to summer. Except, that is, when it comes to my fragrance collection. It sounds like an odd thing to say, I know, but the one thing that gets me really excited for autumn is surrounding myself with the seasonal scents. I’m an inherently cosy (read: lazy) person, and something about being snuggled up warm inside, enveloped by creamy, spicy scents makes my typically sun-drenched heart feel a little bit giddy.

Experts Tell Me These Are the Jewellery Trends to Invest in For 2022
Is it crazy to start thinking about the next year? I don’t think so. I hate to break it to you but there are only 100 days until Christmas, which means there are only a few more days than that until 2022. Yes, I know. Anyway, the reason I’m writing about the coming new year is that I’m thinking about new trends and in particular jewellery trends for 2022. Ever since the pandemic started and we were hooked to our computers and Zoom meetings, various luxury outlets reported a rise in sales of jewellery but in particular fine jewellery that’s great for wearing everyday. The idea being that people wanted to elevate their more casual WFH looks with chic necklaces and earrings—the Zoom-friendly options. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
So Many People Are Buying This Cult ’90s Lipstick, It Keeps Selling Out
In the world of beauty, it’s hard not to get swept up in the excitement of newness; fancy product launches that promise us the world or, at the very least, noticeably glowy skin, lengthened lashes, or fuller-looking lips. Sure, some do live up to their lofty promises, and may even become a firm fixture in our beauty bags, but it won’t be long before another wonder product comes along to steal the spotlight. The real objective of any beauty product should, however, be longevity—to be eternally relevant and adorned long after the initial social media fanfare. It takes time, but the products that are worth knowing are the ones that remain in-demand once everything goes quiet. However, sometimes a quietly unassuming beauty classic does offer all that, but is still u...
Founding Cannibal Corpse Singer Calls Kourtney Kardashian a “Poser” after She Wears Band’s Shirt
Kourtney Kardashian turned heads by sporting a gory Cannibal Corpse shirt when she stepped out with boyfriend Travis Barker a few days ago. Now, founding Cannibal Corpse singer Chris Barnes has labeled both the reality TV star and the Blink-182 drummer “posers.” The eldest of the Kardashian sisters sported a long-sleeve black shirt with the gruesome artwork from Cannibal Corpse’s 1990 debut album, Eaten Back to Life, as she walked hand in hand with Barker, who repped punk pioneers The Cramps with his white tee. Barnes, who has fronted Six Feet Under since Cannibal Corpse parted ways with him in 1995, shared the pic of Kourtney and Travis on his Twitter, and simply wrote “Posers.” Advertisement Related Video It’s not the first time the Kardashians have been called out for wearing metal shir...
I Just Found Three Perfect Pairs of Autumn Boots From H&M, M&S and Arket
All coming in black and with comfy flat soles, they instantly sparked inspiration for my autumn outfits. While the style looks undeniably cool with Emma’s pink minidress, I can imagine all three looking so chic with black leggings and a belted oversized blazer. They would also pair nicely with a longer dress, perhaps in a knitted fabric. After all, this boot style is ideal for giving cold-weather staples an edge. While these boots are all from the high street, they range in price from £40 to £290, but there are, of course, plenty more where these came from. Scroll down to see H&M’s, M&S’s and Arket’s perfect autumn boots, and shop similar styles. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So...

Changing rooms still feel like a real novelty after months of online-only shopping, so to celebrate the arrival of autumn collections, our editors headed into stores to be able to give you our honest reviews.

These Are the Designer Items That Are Best to Buy Second-Hand
Whether you’re an avid observer of street style or simply like to scroll through Instagram for all your outfit inspiration, there’s no doubting the fact that each year, a number of trends emerge when it comes to designer items. From Gucci’s Marmont crossbody bag to Bottega Veneta’s enviably cool pouch clutch or Jacquemus’s Le Chiquito, certain items develop a cult-like status amongst fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. Though, cult status aside, you might be asking yourself which brands actually hold their value? Or which brands are the most in-demand when it comes to resale? Well, thanks to Vestiaire Collective, we just might have the answers, as the designer resale site has compiled some statistics to let us ...
Not All Jackets Are Created Equal—These 7 Are Truly Exceptional
Whether you’re ready for it or not, autumn is almost here (heck, some days, it feels like it already is), which can only mean one thing: It’s time to start thinking about jackets. You can keep your pumpkin spiced lattes and your opaque tights—jackets are easily my favourite thing about autumn. While I already have a few trusty styles to hand that I pull out every single year, it’s been a while since I treated myself to a new jacket, so right now, I’m officially in the market for some on-trend outerwear. This, however, isn’t a purchase I’ll make lightly. This jacket will have to carry me through the foreseeable future and go with everything I already own to make it worthwhile and justifiable. I’m not asking for much, right? Finding such a ...
Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 44 Are Fantastic
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...
